Hi! Thanks for the great info for the Quintus theme. I am trying to remove the big space between the Navigation Menu and Blog Post Title so that it looks just like your image above, but I don’t see that css code listed above. Any help you could give would be appreciated!

When you go to my blog, there is a space between the bottom of the menu and the top of the word NR5Q. The space is approximately 4 times the height of the NR5Q. I want to remove that.

Thank you for answering so quickly! I didn’t know you had answered my post. I didn’t receive any kind of notification and just happened to look at your page in order to check something else. Wonder why?

Great theme… but I’m having some trouble. When I used Quintus at WordPress.com, I had several MORE widgets, RSS Link, Follow Blog, Image, & Gravatar. When I moved over to my own domain on Dreamhost, I suddenly have very few widgets and the ones I’ve just listed are the ones I want the most. What happened to them? Can I get them back?

When I started with WordPress, I spend days searching for a theme. I found Quintus and loved it: simple widget layout mixed with text and images, etc. I was especially enamored with the archaic color. The tone of my religious blog—anabundanceofjoy.com—was set. Before I went custom domain, I was assured by two different WordPress support people that there would be no problem using Quintus. When it didn’t work, I got this reply “I have taken a look at the Quintus theme, and this seems to be an exclusive WordPress.com theme that will not work on WordPress.org blogs. This means that as you are using a custom URL anabundanceofjoy.com and a WordPress.org blog on this URL, you will be unable to use the Quintus theme, unless you can find a download of it.” Is there any chance of me being happy again?

Thanks allaboutbasic,
Your response time is fantastic. No, I didn’t activate the comment section on the first page of Quintus which is designated as Leave a Comment. I saw your notation #24, but it didn’t tell me how to activate the comment section. Reply sections on other pages work well. I am not a geek and frightened of HTML. Afraid of using codes lest I screw something up. Yes, I’d like to enlarge the font, and possibly use color, on the right side bar (and saw your notation in the Style Sheet), but wouldn’t know where to put the code words. I’m 84 and have learned hugely in the last 2 years and am finished learning in preference to doing. Love your Quintus. Get lots of comments from Brazil. Wayne http://anabundanceofjoy.com

Hi,
I’m using this blog theme and somhow the magnifying glass symbol in the search box of the navigation bar has gone. Any ideas on what I’ve done and how I can get it back? Help would be much appreciated!

I love Quintus, and use it for most of my sites, but is there a way to remove the funny squiggle from the top line of every post? Sometimes I can get the first line to drop down below it – and then it looks kinda sharp – but usually the thing just sits over the text or graphics: http://matanuskabarns.wordpress.com/

Hello,
I am new to blogging and have just set up a Quintus WordPress page. I was wondering if there is any way to put a little picture in place of the date dots on the left side of each post. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Hello, again. I tried to put the code into the post but when I test-publish, the written code doesn’t have any effect on the post other than look like gibberish added. I think this must be way beyond my abilities, since I am completely new to this. I’m trying to learn, but don’t really know where to begin. I don’t know if this helps, but my site is called “Pigment of Your Imagination” and the URL is marshagilliam.wordpress.com. Duh, sorry to be so new to this that I can’t even comprehend what to do with your suggestion. I will keep trying. Thank you so much. Marsha

When I use the default Quintus color scheme, I am able to change the footer color to whatever I like by updating .blog-footer {background: #000000;}
However, when I switch to the Archaic background scheme, this setting is completely ignored and the footer background is a very dark maroon regardless of what I set the footer color to.
Has anyone else run into this? Any solutions?

Is there a way to add an image to the header section?
Can I add images to the right side of the nav bar (above the sidebar)?
How can I decrease that margin gap between the search icon in the nav bar and where the nav bar begins on the left side?

I am using the Pages widget at the top of the right hand menu. When viewing the blog or individual Pages the widget is fine. But when I go to an individual Blog Page I am getting the Permalink option appearing between the “Pages” header and the first page in the list.

Hi, This is so useful to me. Thank you so much. Can you please help me remove the right panel in the navigation menu, which says ‘older posts’ the blog home page and ‘bookmark the permalink’ in each post page? This panel does not appear when you load a page. Thank you.

Many thanks. That takes care of the links. I still see the vertical line in the navigation menu. Can you please let me know what I should to remove that so that the pages list extend across the entire screen? Hope I am clear. Many thanks once again.
